The disruptive effect of the 2008 economic crisis, accompanied by the political, social, and technological changes that have emerged in the new millennium, has radically influenced the society we live in today. The economic crisis has challenged the entire system and caused a devastating and irreversible impact on the profession, leading to a drastic contrast between the pre- and the post-crisis situation in the industry. Regardless of which generation we belong to, this new context represents an actuality that we must confront —a point of no return that reshuffles the cards— a set of redefined hierarchies and roles, as well as the introduction of new forms of work. Through its research, New Generations attempts to explore these new conditions.
